Stephan Ewen created FLINK-2070: ----------------------------------- Summary: Confusing methods print() that print on client vs on TaskManager Key: FLINK-2070 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2070 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Affects Versions: 0.9 Reporter: Stephan Ewen Fix For: 0.9
With the {{print()}} method printing on the client, the {{print(sourceIentified)}} method becomes confusing, as it has the same name, but prints on the taskManager (into its "out" files) and executes lazily. We should clarify the confusion by picking a more descriptive name, like {{printOnTaskManager()}}. I am not sure how common the use case to print into the TaskManager {{out}} files is. We could remove that method and point to the {{PrintingOutputFormat}} for that. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
